The transmission oil level must be checked every 60,000 km. Automatic transmission with a dipstick.
Attention! Checking the transmission oil level should be done after warming up the transmission oil to a temperature of 80°C. To do this, drive about 30 km on the highway.
If the vehicle was moving at high speed or was driven in urban conditions before the test, then it is necessary to turn off the engine and let it cool down for about 30 minutes and only then proceed with the test.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gearshift lever to each of the seven positions in turn.
2. Place the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
3. Set the gearshift lever to position "P" or "N".
4. Start the engine and let it idle.
5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it with a clean cloth and reinstall it.
6. Remove the dipstick again and determine the transmission oil level in the gearbox: at the operating temperature of the gearbox, the oil level should be between the minimum A and maximum B marks on the dipstick (see illustration). The volume of oil between the marks is 0.5 l.
2.6 The oil level should be between the minimum A and maximum B marks on the dipstick
Attention! The transmission oil level must not exceed the maximum mark. Excess oil must be removed.
Warning! Too much transmission oil can cause it to overheat and leak, too little oil is harmful to the gearbox.
7. Replace the two O-rings 1 if traces of oil leakage are found on the dipstick (see illustration).
2.7 Replace the two O-rings 1
Automatic transmission without dipstick
8. Place the car on a horizontal surface, jack it up, and place it on support jacks.
9. Set the gearshift lever to position "P".
10. Press the brake pedal. Move the gearshift lever to each of the seven positions in turn and return the lever to the "P" position.
11. Start the engine and let it idle. When the transmission oil temperature reaches 55°C, unscrew the plug 3 of the inspection hole (see illustration). Wait until the oil temperature reaches 60°C.
2.11 When the transmission oil temperature reaches 55°C, unscrew the plug 3 of the inspection hole
12. The transmission oil level is sufficient if it flows out of the inspection hole. In this case, screw in the inspection hole plug and tighten it with a force of 25 Nm.
13. If transmission oil does not flow out of the inspection hole, screw in the inspection hole plug. Turn off the engine.
14. Remove the filler plug 3 (see illustration 2.25) suitable pliers and add 0.5 l of transmission oil and repeat the oil level check procedure.
15. Tap the metal part of the filler plug with a hammer and an 18 mm punch, secure the plastic part of the plug with a clamp.
